Im moving outlook to a new computer (windows xp) from a computer that had windows 98 and outlook 5. Ive read online on transfering the account and so far have been able to trasnfer the address book but cant figure out how to do the email messages. It seems like most of the directions are for outlook 2000 up so im not sure if thats why i cant transfer it. I couldnt find the pst files but i did find the .dbx files. However when i try to move the dbx files into outlook (2003 i think) on the new computer it wont take. what do i need to do to get this to work?

and is there another way to save emails in bulk? say that i wanna save the last 6 months of emails...is there a way to save them as documents or anythin?
